Re: Password Length (was: Client Access vs CAE) -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Al,

I don't either, but I've already seen them provide longer names under the
covers with SQL tables. Maybe they'll do something similar with user
profiles -- a 10-character AS400 userid and a related 128-character userid
for other networks, something like they do with system directory entries and
SMTP email addresses.
